Death Riders given a new name by 37-year-old AEW star

AEW star Marina Shafir recently revealed a new name for her faction on social media. The Death Riders have been causing havoc in AEW for a long time now. The Problem has been one of the key members of the faction and always stands beside Jon Moxley.

The former AEW World Champion will be facing Darby Allin in an 'I Quit' contest at WrestleDream. On the recent episode of Collision, Mox, Claudio Castagnoli, and Daniel Garcia defeated Adam Priest, Tommy Billington, and Jay Lethal. Marina Shafir caused multiple interruptions, preventing the latter trio from gaining any momentum.

After the victory, Marina took to Instagram and posted photos of herself and Jon Moxley, with the following caption:

"Bad news bearers #DeathRiders."

Jon Moxley reveals why he chose Marina Shafir

The former AEW World Champion carefully picked the Death Riders. Fans have been highly captivated by the partnership between him and Marina Shafir.

While speaking with TV Insider, Jon Moxley stated that The Problem has earned his respect and is a great workhorse; therefore, he chose her for his faction.

"Marina is great. I only surround myself with people I trust and people of the highest quality of character and integrity because I don’t have time for bullsh*t. Marina has earned that respect with me. She is that kind of person who is unf**kwithable as they say. I find her to be an inspiring person to be around. The thing about her is she has done as much or more work in the last two years than anyone. Just getting better at her craft, and pro wrestling. I’d say more than anyone in the f**kin business. Definitely, anyone in AEW," he said.

It will be interesting to see what is next for the Death Riders.
